Wildflowers Defined

A wildflower is one that has developed naturally over time without human intervention and retains the original characteristics of the plant family.
Many species of wildflowers are considered herbs with uses beyond beautiful flowers!

Our wildflower seed is non-domesticated and is pure seed with purity of most
species at 95-99%. Actual germination rates range up to 95% according to environmental factors.

Habitat destruction and pollution factors have endangered many species of
wildflowers almost to extinction. Solution - Plant Wildflower Seed.

Perennial, Annual & Biennial Wildflower Seed

Wild flowers
and other plants are categorized as
annuals, perennials, biennials, or tender perennials. Once established most wildflower seed species will reseed and return year after year with nominal work on the part of the gardener.
Low maintenance features and availability of seed has fostered the revival of wildflower gardening.

Annual wildflowers come back from seeds that germinate each spring
and bloom each year to make more seeds. Perennial wildflowers do not bloom until the second year, because of this you want to be careful when weeding. Perennials are
often mistaken for weeds as they do not bloom in the 1st year like annuals. They usually live several years (3+). Tender perennial wildflowers grow as annuals in cold climates. Biennial
wildflowers will live 2 years.

Wildflowers seed out as soon as the blooming season is over.
These seed are blown or carried to new areas. Rainfall, snow and normal soil movement helps bury the seed to gain better soil contact.

Whether a few feet or a large meadow, wildflowers readily provide months of beauty to your surroundings and provide much needed pollinator or bee feed. This site is an excellent place
to start gathering information for wildflower seed varieties that are native to the region in which you live.

The Benefits of Planting Native Wildflower Seed

Wildflowers are naturalized plants or native wildflowers that are not invasive or aggressive
to the natural order of plants in a given area. Each wild flower species has developed over time to genetically become disease and insect resistant to that particular area, soil
conditions, climate and other environmental factors. Some wildflowers should not be planted in new areas because of their aggressive growth which can take over native species and wipe them
out. Every region has Eco systems within Eco systems and competition is regulated by the genetics within each separate system. It is always best to plant the NATIVE wildflower seed
varieties that can be obtained for your region.

Dormant Seeding of Wildflowers - Late Fall /Winter

Wildflowers naturally re-seed themselves in the fall. Fall is an acceptable time to plant wildflower
seed if done properly. If planting wildflower seed in the fall, it is advisable to wait until three good frosts have occurred to prevent fall germination. This is called dormant seeding.
It is also a good idea to lightly cover your wildflower seed with 1/8 inch of soil or mulch to prevent the wind from blowing them away, birds from eating them, or rain washing your
wildflower seed away.

Fall wildflower seeding prepares seed to germinate quickly when the right conditions set in the following Spring.

Planting Wildflower Seed in The Spring

Wildflower seeds can also be successfully planted in the spring. The seeding of Spring Wildflowers needs to be as
early as possibleand the plants will germinate at the "right" time. Mowing existing wildflowers or hand seeding new wildflowers in the spring or fall will help spread the
seeds onto a new site for the next spring, summer, or fall blooming season.
